Hi Everyone,

I am hoping someone can help me out here. I am having a problem getting some text into a MSSQL DB correctly using the following CGI script (i tried to trim it down to just the essentials). 

    use CGI;
    use DBI;

    my $test = 'testこんにちはtest';

    print "Content-type: text/plain; charset=utf8\n\n";

    my $dbproc = DBI->connect("DBI:ODBC:*********","*******", "*****",
+ { PrintError => 0, RaiseError => 1, ChopBlanks => 1 } ) || print "un
+able to insert record $DBI::errstr";

    my $insQry = "exec ins_result N'".$test;."'";
    print "insQry: $insQry\n\n";

    my $sth = $dbproc->prepare($insQry); 
    $sth->execute;
    
    $dbproc->disconnect || print "unable to insert record $DBI::errstr
+";

I see the correct data on the web page as follows: insQry: exec ins_result N'testこんにちはtest'

but when i check the DB i see the following was inserted into the table:

Environment details are:

OS: Red Hat Enterprise Linux Client release 5.9 (Tikanga)

DB Microsoft SQL Server 2005

Apache: Apache/2.0.50

Perl: 5.10.0

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,

Mike
